Having my husband love the dress and getting told how beautiful the dress was, and that my looked resembled Adele!

Size worn: 14

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Date

I received this dress after the one I originally wanted was not available in my size. I absolutely love this dress! The fit was perfect - I did wear Spanx underneath to slim the middle area, but it's not tight fitting in the middle where you have to wear Spanx. I wore this for my first married Valentine's Day. My husband loved the dress, and so did everyone at the restaurant we went to. A waitress came up to me and said I reminded her of Adele at the 2012 Grammy's - I couldn't have been more flattered! Rent this dress, you won't be disappointed!

Classy LBD

Size worn: 4

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

This is an elegant dress that is perfect for many occasions. I wore it to a charity fundraiser and received lots of compliments. The sequins add plenty of sparkle so I paired it with black peep toe shoes and a gold Whiting & Davis clutch. I usually wear a 4 and it fit perfectly.

Celebrating our anniversary in style

This dress was a perfect 10 in my book. It was super comfortable and sexy. Unlike other sequin dresses I have worn, this wasn't scratchy at all. I typically wear a size 6 because I have a large chest but the 4 fit perfectly.

Casual elegance with a bit of sparkle

I wore this for my bi-annual "Mommy-Daughter Photo Shoot" after my original Elie Tahari choice was unavailable due to Sandy. I needed something that would keep up with the cuteness of my little one and with this Elie Tahari dress, I knew I couldn't go wrong. The dress was very cute; just enough sparkle and coverage to serve its purpose. Great LBD.

Gorgeous dress

Size worn: 6

Overall fit: True to Size

I'm 5'3'', and it hit just above my knees. Fits true to size, but I had the problem similar to others where the lining fabric was longer than the lacy sequins fabric. Easy fix with the fashion tape supplied by RTR.

Lightweight and subtle LBD

Size worn: 14

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

I did not care for the way this dress fit. The neckline is actually lower than on the model, almost a boat neck in my opinion. It does not show this well, but the edging to the neckline and short sleeves is a satin fabric that is also the liner. It is too lightweight to keep the neckline from sagging.
The fabric is beautiful- but, very lightweight. The sequins are actually sandwiched between two pieces of fine netting- so it is very subtle. I would have had to wear a full control garment to prevent the material from clining to all my worst spots.
On the model, it looks wonderful because she has a great figure. But this dress is very unforgiving.

Sophisticated but just enough sexy. Compliments all night!

Great dress! Wore it for a charity work event - it was classy and professional in silhouette, but the sequins made it a little more sexy and young, so it was the perfect blend of sassy but sophisticated. Ran a tiny bit large - I am normally between an 8 and a 10, but probably could have worn a 6 in this for a more form-fitting look, but the 8 worked for this event. The lace/sequins did easily snag on things a little bit, but nothing major. I got lots of compliments from coworkers and strangers alike!

Amazing surprise

Size worn: 8

Overall fit: True to Size

This dress came as a surprise to me. One of my dresses was unable to ship and the amazing stylists at RTR sent this. This dress was perfect! I wore it for one of my boss' events and it was the perfect length (modest, right above the knee), comfortable and still had flare!
I did have a little problem with the lining underneath (you can see it in the picture) and at one point thought that maybe it was supposed to be that way... looking at the model picture though, I don't think it is.
I threw on a simple gold belt to tie in my jewelry and felt wonderful. Thanks again RTR!

I loved the dress.

Size worn: 4

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

It was perfect for my occasion. It arrived on time and worked out great! The dress was true to a size 4 (ran close to a big size 4). I had room in the dress, but not too much room. It was comfortable with the extra room. The hem showed a little bit when I put the dress on (which I did not expect to happen because I didn't see the hem showing in any of the review pictures that I previewed before I ordered it) but it was fine, I pinned it up with the fashion tape rent the runway sent with my order.

I loved this dress, and got so many compliments on it.

It fit true to size, looked glamorous without being over the top, and the sleeves made it perfect for a Fall wedding. I have a large chest, and this dress was really flattering. I would definitely recommend it if you're a little bigger on top.

Glitzy and Glam

Size worn: 14

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

This was my back up dress, was a little iffy because it seemed very glitzy. My original dress wasn't available and I was so happy with this choice. I was very comfortable all night and able to dance the night away into the New Year. Sits right above the knee, wore a chunky ring and gold earrings and that was enough. Once again RTR, has made me feel sexy and comfortable. Looking forward to renting again. My cousin in the pic is also wearing a RTR dress ;)

Disappointed

Size worn: 4

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

Unlike my other rentals, this dress was worn and kind of shabby. I probably should have worn something I already owned instead. The RTR service, however, was INCREDIBLE. Other reviews stated that it ran small and so I needed to have a smaller size rushed to me. RTR did so...and was great about it.

Not my cup of tea

Size worn: 6

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

The dress was a little too conservative but it is a well constructed dress. It didn't show any curves really and I like to flaunt mine. I'm still giving it a high rating because it is really a lovely dress but I should have known better with the cut of the dress that I wouldn't like it.

All my friends loved me in this dress! Very elegant!

While I liked this dress a lot, you should keep in mind that this dress runs a little big. I usually wear 2-4(most times 4), but for this dress I had to choose 0 over 2. Besides, even though I'm between 5'6" and 5'7", the dress is a bit long. It actually runs slightly over the knee.

Great dress!

I did not end up wearing this dress because I got sick but I tried it on before that & it fit perfectly! Very fitted but comfortable. The only unfortunate thing I noticed was that the lining hung down longer than the dress so that would need to be taped up a little bit. Subtly chic!

It was perfect!

Size worn: 10

I loved it. I was a on the heavy side when I rented this for prom since I was in the middle of a diet but it outline my curves and although a bit long it was very comfortable. This is the type of dress I'd actually want to buy to wear again.

From the moment I put on the dress it felt like it was tailored for me.

I loved this dress even tho I didn't end up wearing it to the event. The fit was absolutely perfect and I would rent it again. It is such a beautiful and comfortable dress. This was my first rent the runway experience and it couldn't have gone any better!

Very fun dress to wear!

Size worn: 6

Overall fit: Large

Rented for: Formal Affair

I loved the sequins and cut of the dress but unfortunately I am only 5' 1" so the dress went way past my knees and required me to wear a belt and really work with it. In the end, I did wear the dress but it required a belt and some tucking. Wouldn't necessarily recommend for girls that are on the shorter side.

I thought the dress was nice for a holiday cocktail party. Just the right amount of glitz.

Size worn: 14

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

I ended up wearing the 14 since I'm bigger in the bust so it was a little loose in the waist. The dress hung nicely and I liked that there was a netting over the sequins since sequins tend to catch on things. My only complaint about the dress was that the lining stuck out at the bottom hem about an inch. Not sure if this was due to wear or what. I temp tacked it so it looked fine but it was unexpected. Otherwise, great dress for a party!

Great choice

Size worn: 4

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

I didn't expect to look like the model in the picture, but when I was looking for the right dress this one looked like it would be a good fit overall. It was much more than I expected! I am 5'6" and weigh 127 lbs. I chose size 4 which was perfect, I didn't even try the backup size 6 I ordered. The only discrepancy vs the model pictures was that the dress was knee length for me, but that was to be expected. I wasn't sure about using RTR at first, but have a lot more confidence using this service in the future. The dress looked and smelled as new, the packaging was perfect and I rate the overall experience as 10 out of 10!

Nice dress for a New Year's Eve wedding!

Size worn: 8

The dress fit very well. Some of the previous reviews mentioned the lining is longer than the dress when it is worn and that was the case for me also. I fixed it with fabric tape and it stayed on all night. I would still rent this again despite that flaw.

I got this dress to wear for our annual New Year's Eve party at home with the family. Sparkly Fun!

Size worn: 8

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

This dress is sparkly, flattering, and very comfortable. It is a little stretchy, so it is easy to wear. I was surprised by the slightly gathered sleeves at the shoulders, this softened the look and made it even more flattering. As several other reviewers noted, the lining of this dress slides around and falls below the outer layer. If I had been going out to a party, I would have taped or pinned the lining up to keep it from showing. This dress was very cute and easy to wear and looked great. Happy New Year!

Great LBD

I ordered this dress along with another for a Black Tie Party. I ended up wearing the other dress. I did however try on this dress and it was true to size however there is something funky going on with the hem lining.

Perfect dress for a formal party!

I wore this to a private party at a club and it was the perfect dress! My husband's colleagues were there so I wanted something sophisticated but glamorous and it worked very well. I wore it with oversized gold earrings, bright red lipstick, and Ted Baker black and gold sandals... so many people asked me where I got the dress! I was a little nervous about renting something with sequins because I didn't want it to be over-the-top and I was concerned about the condition of a rented dress like this but it was in beautiful condition. The only thing is that the lining is a little too long but you can just tape it up.

The dress is nice but the underlining shows over 1 inch at the bottom of the dress... my mother and I couldn't figure out how to hide is so luckily I got an 2nd dress that worked... overall looked worn and over used.

This dress was super comfortable and perfect for a wedding.

I have to admit, I was expecting the dress to be a little more shimmery. It is hard to tell from the photo but it has a layer of lace over the sequins so they are more muted in person. It is very comfortable and looks great in photos. It travels well also. I packed it in a suitcase, and when I pulled it out, it didn't even need to be ironed. Overall, I was very happy and would rent this dress again.

Wore this to a formal party and the size fit and color were perfect!

Size worn: 14

Rented for: Formal Affair

I wore the 14 so I would have room in the hip I couldn't have it too tight or short for this event and it slipped on perfectly without too much space in the waist either. A nice amount of shine and the perfect length I rarely have that issue bing only 5"5 but this fit the bill amazingly. My husband said I should definitely own this one. I love using RTR and I'll definitely continue.

Beautiful dress!

This dress was perfect for a Christmas party I attended. It had the right amount of coverage and sparkle. I loved that it had short sleeves and was a great length (just above the knee). I would definitely rent this again.

This is a great dress-- super slimming and the perfect amount of sparkle!

This dress has great construction and seams in all the right places to be very flattering. It's sparkly but not in-your-face sparkly. I wore it to my engagement party and got a lot of compliments. The one negative is that the slip underneath is longer than the dress for some unexplainable reason but as many other comments recommended, I taped it up with double stick tape without a problem. All in all, a great dress that I would love to own.
